Dear future neighbour,

Is it tough finding your first job in Canada? What were the things that helped you get a foot in the door?

Have any of these tips worked for you? Do you have any others that are tried and tested, please share.

Save and share with a friend who lives in Canada, just landed, or is planning to move to Canada soon.

1. Find a way to offer value before requesting help. This is an important principle with networking, it cannot be a parasitic relationship.
2. Volunteer to gain canadian work experience and where possible, do a bridging program.
3. If you need to, get further education.
4. Do your research, your experience may work with different job titles than you were used to back home.
5. Tailor each resume and cover letter you send to the specific job and use a canadian template.
6. Use settlement agencies, mentorship platforms, networking events and request coffee chats with professionals to grow your network. The more people you meet, the higher your chances of landing your dream job, worst case, they won’t respond, but networking will connect you to the hidden job market.
7. Before each interview, learn about the company and its culture.
8. Prepare an elevator pitch and master it by sharing it often to define the value you can bring to a potential employer.
9. If necessary, don’t be afraid to take a transition job.
10. Upskill until you land your dream job.
